Tomorrow we'll participate in our fourth Small Business Saturday as a local business. It's an exciting time of year for us- we've just gathered with family for Thanksgiving and feel the holidays coming through in full swing. Holiday music fills the shop, window displays are given an extra bit of attention, and Christmas lights add a touch of magic to the shop.

Last year we began offering winter paddle tours to our customers, and it was a huge success! We were blown away by how many people zipped into a wetsuit and took to the water even as the mercury dipped below 30 degrees.

Great Misery and Little Misery Islands, known collectively as Misery Islands, lie a half-mile off the coast of Beverly Farms. Their southern side is exposed to the sea- some days the sea is quiet, and all around the islands the water is placid. Other days, it feels like the full fury of a passing storm or swell is concentrated on the islands.

Shop hours are a little bit limited this time of year, but that doesn't mean we're closed! We're in the shop on Saturdays and Sundays 10-5, unless we're on the water with a tour. Monday-Friday, we're open by chance or appointment, but we like to spend most of our off-the-water time there, so there's a good chance you'll find us. We think of the shop as our second home, and we invite you to come in anytime we're here. If you know for sure you want to stop by, give us a call or email and we'll make sure we're "home" to invite you in! You can also shop our online store and we'll send products right to you!

Fall and winter paddle tours are scheduled on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays, with a destination paddle each Saturday. We'd love for you to join us! All tours are subject to cancellation due to unsafe weather conditions.
